now i'm nothing
i smashed myself to pieces
i am gonna fuck myself up
i'm sifting through the ashes
oh what i have become
i gave myself away now i'm nothing
let it slip away now i'm nothing
all that i can do is break myself in two
i fucked it all away now i'm nothing
wave wave wave wave goodbye
wave wave wave wave goodbye
This may be the hardest one to interperet because it has so few lyrics and does not go along with any other songs. I
think that perhaps Trent has written about major characters in his musical voyage. The dude obsessed with the chick in
pretty hate machine. An extremely pissed off guy in broken. A self-hating person on the downward spiral. the perfect
drug is a return to the hate machine character. Now I'm nothing fits none of those. And since it was used for an
opener, I see it as sort of a fresh start for someone who has no explained reason to hate themself but they do anyway. It
is about someone who perhaps always thought they could be more than what they are and now just sifts through the
ashes of the burning hatred of themself.
